Not sure about this "news" article (Score 1)

I've been using a RampNetworks Webramp 200i for over a year now. This thing has a built in 56k modem with a 4 port hub, yesterday I ordered a new NetGear RM356 because the RM356 supports VPN where the 200i doesn't. I'm not so sure that the above aritcle is actually news aside from the fact that it's running on top of a Linux Kernel. I also see that a few people are flaming about the fact that this is 56k modem based. Some of us out here in the "boonies" do not have the options that you "city slickers" have. Apparently those of us who live in cities with less than a population of 50,000 don't deserve or need high speed access. So, yes these types of devices do have their place, but I'm not sure that this one is "news" worthy.
